I currently had a True-Track on my mid axles only.
I also have Dave Lenzi's mid-axle disc brake kit I'd like to install. I've had the kit for a couple of years and when I got it I believe Dave said he had not looked into making a bracket for the True-Track.
Before I get into this installation, has anyone adapted the True-track to work with Dave's mid-axle brakes?
Thanks

Seems like Dave's kit adds the thickness of the adapter/backplate assembly to the back of the bogie mount where the true-track would attach. Since the bracket that holds the roller is designed to mount directly to the back of the bogie mount, it would need to be modified so that it could be mounted further away from the bogie mount by that thickness. Would probably need longer bolts. From the true-track photos it looks like it would clear the true-track guides.

Bruce,
What are you running for a front sway bar??
I have a couple people tell me their caspro front bars are enough to allow them to jump on and off the edge of pavement stress free. I am planning on driving their coach this summer to see for myself. a heavy front bar is something I would like to do soon.

All good in Southern California,

It also gives you more time to harass people about their wheels!
